Avenue Stowaway

In a blink of an eye, Kong Fang has been a disciple of the inner hall for half a year. During this half year, Kong Fang, except for going to the preaching hall every five days to listen to Elder Qing Fan's explanation of the methods of refining weapons and cultivating the Tao, spent the rest of his time in his own small courtyard cultivating.

Over the past six months, Kong Fang's progress has been rapid. The earth-based spirit in the Purple Mansion is now nearly four feet tall, and as the spirit becomes stronger, Kong Fang's speed in absorbing the power of heaven and earth is also increasing rapidly.

Fortunately, Kong Fang had the Thousand Stars Cultivation Technique bestowed by the master of the Secret Mansion, which allowed him to refine the large amount of heaven and earth power he absorbed every day into mana. If there were no opportunities in the Secret Mansion, with the pitiful five-star cultivation technique bestowed by the Weapon Sect, Kong Fang couldn't imagine how many days it would take for him to refine all the heaven and earth power he absorbed every day into mana.

In the bedroom, Kong Fang, wearing a brand new white robe, sat cross-legged on the bed, practicing with his eyes closed. Kong Fang's consciousness was in the Purple Palace, watching the endless stars in the sky, experiencing the unpredictable mysteries contained therein.

Even if you don't watch the true image of the stars, your soul will gain strength and slowly grow stronger. But if you actively watch, your soul will grow stronger faster. Therefore, in the past six months, Kong Fang's consciousness often enters the Purple Mansion to watch the endless stars. This is not only because the soul can grow stronger faster, but there is another reason.

That is, Kong Fang discovered that every time he gained a little more understanding of the unfathomable mysteries of the endless stars, it would become a little easier for him to study the formations and practice the earth-based Taoism.

Since watching the endless stars can not only make the soul stronger faster, but also benefit cultivation and refining, Kong Fang naturally enjoys it and goes into the Purple Mansion as soon as he has free time.

In fact, something happened in the past six months that made Kong Fang speechless. That was six months ago, after Elder Qing Fan taught him and Ge Sheng the soul refining method, Kong Fang pushed back the time for refining mana by two months. This was not because of other things, but because it took Ge Sheng nearly two months to condense his soul.

Although Kong Fang's soul refining method is extremely advanced, he only got a two-star soul refining method. It doesn't make sense that Ge Sheng spent nearly two months to successfully condense the soul, while he only took two or three days to do this. If Kong Fang really dared to do this, he would never be regarded as a genius. On the contrary, he would be directly suppressed by the strong men in the weapon sect and forced to tell the secret.

In order not to shock the world or attract too much attention, Kong Fang waited until Ge Sheng condensed his spirit before pretending that he had succeeded as well.

Suddenly, Kong Fang, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, opened his eyes.

"Five days have passed in the blink of an eye. It's time to go to the preaching hall." Kong Fang got out of bed, opened the bedroom door and walked out.

The small courtyard where Kong Fang lived was on the hillside behind the Huoyun Hall. In fact, the residences of several other inner hall disciples were also in this area, but each courtyard was at least one or two miles apart.

In the yard, Fangtou, who was practicing under the awning, stopped practicing when he heard the sound of the door opening and quickly stood up from the ground.

"Senior Brother." Fangtou called out with a silly smile.

Kong Fang showed a bitter smile on his face, "Fangtou, I have told you many times to go to your room when you want to practice and not stay in the yard. Why do you..." Kong Fang shook his head helplessly.

Fangtou touched his head and said with a simple smile: "I am your follower, so I must ensure that you are not disturbed when you are practicing. Otherwise, what is the point of having a follower like me?"

Suddenly, Fangtou's expression became serious, "Senior brother, you allowed me to become your follower and embark on the path of cultivation. This is a great favor that changed my destiny. I have no way to repay you, so I can only do what I can. Only in this way can I feel that I, as a follower, am of some use. Otherwise..." Fangtou's expression was a little gloomy.

It was the first time that Kong Fang heard Fang Tou say so much, and he was stunned for a moment. But when he saw Fang Tou's slightly gloomy expression, Kong Fang suddenly understood his mood.

"That's right. He is such a stubborn person that if you don't let him do something, he won't be able to get over it." Kong Fang smiled and shook his head. He walked over and patted Fangtou on the shoulder and said, "Do what you like in the future. I won't stop you anymore."

Fangtou's eyes lit up instantly, "Is what you said true, brother?"

"When has my senior brother ever lied to you?" Kong Fang asked with a smile.

"Thank you, senior brother." Fangtou was suddenly very excited.

Kong Fang walked straight forward, waved his hand and said, "I'm going to go out for a while, you can continue to practice."

Kong Fang, in a good mood, left the courtyard and walked slowly towards the Huoyun Hall below.

When Kong Fang just entered Huoyun Hall, the eyes of the new disciples and the clerks behind the counter suddenly lit up, and they shouted "Senior Brother Kong" and greeted Kong Fang enthusiastically. Among these people, Changsheng, who was occupying the middle counter, had the loudest voice.

Kong Fang smiled and nodded, then walked across the hall as quickly as possible towards the Preaching Hall behind the Huoyun Hall.

In the preaching hall, the other five inner hall disciples had already arrived, and they were all sitting cross-legged on the cushions. Hearing the voice, the five of them turned around and saw that it was Kong Fang who came in. Sun Hao and Ge Sheng couldn't help but greet him with a smile, and Qu Han just nodded slightly. As for Li Sen and Yin Wanshui, they just closed their eyes and rested, and ignored Kong Fang at all.

Kong Fang didn't care and found a cushion to sit down.

Soon, Elder Qing Fan, wearing a fiery red armor, also arrived at the preaching hall. Kong Fang and the other six people stood up quickly and saluted Elder Qing Fan respectfully.

Elder Qing Fan smiled and nodded, then turned his gaze to Kong Fang.

"Kong Fang, half a year ago you didn't get the Fire Element Method, and I said I would compensate you with a pair of True Fire Rings. But two of the materials are hard to find, so it has been delayed until now. You don't blame me, do you?" Elder Qing Fan said jokingly.

"I definitely didn't do that. If you don't believe me, you can ask Brother Sun Hao. He can testify for me." Kong Fang rudely dragged Sun Hao into the water.

Sun Hao stared at Kong Fang in amazement, and couldn't help cursing in his heart, "Shameless Kong Fang, how can I know what you are thinking?"

"Hahaha." Elder Qing Fan laughed loudly. His hearty voice echoed throughout the preaching hall. It was obvious that he was in a very good mood.

"Here, this is what I promised you." Elder Qing Fan stretched out his hand, and two red bracelets flew towards Kong Fang.

Kong Fang grabbed the two bracelets and said, "Thank you, Elder."

Elder Qing Fan waved his hand calmly.

Sun Hao, Li Sen and the other four all looked at the red bracelet in Kong Fang's hand with burning eyes.

"This pair of True Fire Rings is not well-refined because one of the materials is insufficient. They only reach the level of mid-grade acquired true treasure. But it is completely sufficient for you at the moment." Elder Qing Fan couldn't help revealing a trace of embarrassment on his rough face.

After hearing what Elder Qing Fan said, Kong Fang, Sun Hao, Li Sen, Qu Han, Yin Wanshui, and Ge Sheng were stunned. The six people ignored the rest of Elder Qing Fan's words, and only six words kept jumping in their minds.

“A middle-grade acquired treasure?” With a gulp, the six people swallowed their saliva in unison.

Above the acquired spiritual treasure is the acquired real treasure, and the acquired spiritual treasure is divided into four grades. Only by completely crossing these four mountain-like grades can it be possible to refine treasures of the acquired real treasure level. But you must know that what Elder Qing Fan sent was not a low-grade acquired real treasure, but a medium-grade acquired real treasure. At this moment, whether it was Kong Fang or Sun Hao and the other four, they were all shocked by Elder Qing Fan's generosity.
